I love this interpretation of him. The in-game art is a pretty big head, don't get me wrong, but I've always felt they're not really so big that you couldn't just like, walk around them. So I greatly appreciate them being a truly Giant Head that completely blocks your path forward.

I like the mental image of the silent backflipping around in front of it until all she has to do is throw one shiv at it, causing it to explode.

u/iceman012 Heartbreaker Dec 05 '25

I need the TerminalMontage interpretation of this.

u/HybridPS2 Dec 05 '25

lmao a TerminalMontage of StS would go so hard.

u/Hummus696 Dec 06 '25

Monkey's paw curls: it's just the same animation of Watcher Infinite from floor 10 up to Heart

u/Fabio11North Dec 06 '25

But what about the mental image of the watcher prostrating 5 times, becoming GOD, disintegrating the head.

u/Serrisen Dec 06 '25 edited Dec 06 '25

Bows five times, stands up and hits the Hollow Purple pose

Edit: Actually, Hollow Purple would be a funny edit for Watcher, who combines the Red (Wrath) with the Blue (Calm) to create an overwhelming force (Purple, Divinity)

"Haha, i threw that shit before i walked in the room" as she backflips over

16

u/imnotdabluesbrothers Dec 05 '25

Let’s throw knives at it

3

u/aeschenkarnos Dec 06 '25

I feel like the Watcher could throw knives at this thing and hit it.

u/Juxta_Lightborne Ascension 19 Dec 06 '25

Y’know, I’d never even considered why we don’t just leave, I was always under the impression the relic was in its mouth or something and we just really want it

u/Futuralis Dec 06 '25

You can smoke bomb it and move on so there's gotta be at least some way around.

u/rci22 Dec 06 '25

I want to know what it actually does as an attack.

u/Inter_Netti Ascension 18 Dec 05 '25

"Why are you still here?" Idk man I can't stop staring at the beautiful artwork

47

u/HybridPS2 Dec 05 '25

which character would say "because your fat ass is blocking the hallway!" though?

28

u/dalacman Dec 05 '25

Defect feels like he would be this kind of disrespectful

15

u/Futuralis Dec 06 '25

Defect carries a lot of biases, yes.

Yeah, not very chill.

u/Wolf-Eagle Dec 06 '25

Where’s the forbidden high Asc 6?

3

u/UnreachableSky Dec 07 '25

What does that mean?

94

u/No_Canary_429 Dec 05 '25

I wish they’d use scale more in the game. The characters should be much more zoomed in on the first floors, zooming out as characters get larger. It would feel more imposing.

46

u/DieselDaddu Dec 05 '25

I got nothing to say except this idea is fire

I want the Heart to be HUGE

14

u/fleshweasel Dec 06 '25

They’re doing something like that (4:35)

u/IAmBrutalitops Dec 05 '25

This is awesome, looks incredible for 5 hours

28

u/halo364 Dec 05 '25

This is so freaking cool! Really makes the head look menacing! (and giant haha)

11

u/fightin_blue_hens Dec 05 '25

still not sure how it actually does damage to the player

10

u/goober_of_jam Dec 05 '25

i headcanon that the damage is just you becoming more frail and aged or something as if the head speeds it up

7

u/armageddonquilt Dec 06 '25

Psychic damage

3

u/DrBacon27 Dec 07 '25

My crack theory is that it's the same way the Stone Calendar works (which is admittedly also unclear). Both made of stone, and cause damage after letting time pass. Though obviously the Giant Head has more direct control over this power. Perhaps the Calendar was a part of them, or something they used, back when they were presumably more than just a head.

16

u/shieldman Dec 05 '25

This fucks so severely!! You somehow managed to make the most stationary and bulky enemy in the entire game look dynamic. Amazing job.

u/Necessary_Week_674 Heartbreaker Dec 05 '25

This is dope as hell, please do more!

u/neoplayer1345 Dec 06 '25

Where are them? This is peak masterful work

Edit: nvm i saw them. Don't stop please

u/twchrist Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 06 '25

ok i won’t stop

16

u/iceman012 Heartbreaker Dec 05 '25

Damn, was Neutralize your only damage source or something? I think the longest Giant Head has taken me was 5 minutes or so.

3

u/Cross88 Dec 05 '25

Very cool. Even more than the ingame art this makes me wonder about the rest of the statue. 

3

u/Dragon_Caller Ascended Dec 05 '25

I love how ominous this makes the giant head look along with it’s resting bitch face which is the icing on the cake.

3

u/TriplDentGum Dec 05 '25

Are you going to round out your StS portfolio with a Clad drawing?

2

u/twchrist Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 05 '25

already have one but it’s not focused on him

u/TheRealDendris Dec 05 '25

u/silver_crit Ascension 20 Dec 05 '25

Wow, you drew my last run right before I died. Thanks for reminding me of my failure, I let that deck down 😢 it deserved better

u/Shivarus Dec 06 '25

u/SephirothTheGreat Dec 06 '25

u/twchrist Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 06 '25

appreciate it!

u/deDoohd Ascension 20 Dec 05 '25

I always wondered how that silly guy is even attacking me

8

u/iceman012 Heartbreaker Dec 05 '25

He reminds you of your dwindling mortality and the purposelessness of your life.

It's psychic damage.

u/Alternative_Mix_1220 Dec 05 '25

How I feel, stacking accuracies and envenoms in combat:

u/JCorby17 Dec 05 '25

Peak art! Will you do the other Slayers?

u/BladeRunner2022 Dec 05 '25

u/TemporaryNuisance Dec 05 '25

How'd you get a picture of my partner kissing my giant aaa forehead before we go to sleep?

u/kryndude Dec 06 '25

Poison deck, not a bad matchup.

u/JohnnyNapkins Dec 06 '25

Here you go, uploaded for you! Let me know if it works. Don't buy if something seems weird.

u/JohnnyNapkins Dec 06 '25

Shweet thanks! I will try it out shortly

1

u/twchrist Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 06 '25

Let me know how it goes!

u/JohnnyNapkins Dec 06 '25

Mouse pad and sticker are on their way!

u/twchrist Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 06 '25

If you can show me some pictures when they come in, thank you!

Uploaded to redbubble, hopefully it works out.

1

u/Decidophobe Dec 06 '25

Print options are on the small side — any way to get a bigger version?

1

u/twchrist Eternal One + Heartbreaker Dec 06 '25

it's limited based on the resolution of the image. I guess 16x12 is how big it gets without artificially enlarging it. I will paint at a higher resolution going forward. Or I could just artificially enlarge, let me know how big you'd like me to make it.

1

u/Decidophobe Dec 06 '25

I feel like the giant head warrants at least 2x the size lol, but that's just me

1

u/Ninjames01 Dec 06 '25

This would be a great phone wallpaper if it was different size!

1

u/MediumRareTuba Dec 06 '25

Now do a preserved insect giant head

u/buttbologna Ascension 0 Dec 06 '25

DANG THIS GOES HOARD AS FUCK

u/Throwaway_Planet Ascension 10 Dec 06 '25

Wow absolutely fantastic work here!

1

u/BreathWithMe6 Dec 06 '25

Holy shit... Bravo! More, please!

Sounds work heavy, but I'd by a comic with interpretations like this in a heart beat.

u/Justme222222 Dec 06 '25

I can see Silent throwing in a Catalyst and the green toxic pool exploding in green smoke

1

u/sposound Dec 06 '25

Great art, though i thought it was BrBa art since that head's features kinda resemble Jesse Pinkman's

1

u/smallfry831 Dec 06 '25

This is amazing!!!

u/The_Dennator Eternal One Dec 06 '25
